To evaluate performance on selected reach directions of the Start Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) in an elite underage rugby union population, and determine if differences exist between the forward and back position units.
This behavior parallels the homogeneous distribution of preferred gaze and reach directions observed in area V6A [48], [48], while it is in contrast with the preferred contralateral representation of the visual field, since the distribution of visual receptive fields in V6A mainly represents the contralateral visual field [23] (see also Fig. 5).
Participants performed three trials in each direction with 40 seconds of rest between reach directions.

Further, subjects practiced 6 trials per reach direction on each foot to get familiarized with the testing procedures.
The most plausible hypothesis that reconciles these findings is that the dorsal premotor cortex is involved in coding reach direction and the ventral premotor cortex is involved in coding grasps, and that interconnections between F2 and F5 (Marconi et al. 2001) allow the two regions to converge on a wrist orientation appropriate for the selected reach direction and grasp type.
As a result, the authors suggest all reaching directions could possibly be affected by lesion level of SCI in optimally trained athletes.
The greater adaptation of the BOLD signal in M1, PMC, SMA, and cerebellum for the 0° versus all other offset conditions is consistent with the hypothesis that these regions contain populations of neurons with preferred reaching directions.
Indeed, the LAS group showed a more grouped horizontal excursion of CoMgl for different reaching directions.
In fact, a recent study has shown differences in muscle activation patterns on the SEBT according to reaching directions [ 47].
Moreover, the horizontal excursion of CoMgl seemed to have different characteristics according to reaching directions in the healthy group compared to the LAS group.
It is unclear how different the reaching directions need to be, for them to be considered the same tasks or skills?
